How is it that evil, crazy, and unbalanced all got seats at the table?

If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.

  • Bertrand Russell

One the things that continues to amaze me about our democracy-cum-idiocracy is the increasing amount of media attention being granted to those who, at least in my not-so-humble opinion, appear to be complete blithering idiots. Don’t believe me? Just take a trip around da Interwebs, and just let the crazy wash over you…because what’s happening on the Far RIght these days is nothing that any sane, reasonable person could come up with….

Bachmann: I’ll Reverse Global Trends And Push Gasoline Back Below $2/Gallon. Right…and monkeys will fly out of my butt. Here in the real world….

Rick Perry: ‘Substantial Number’ Of Climate Scientists Have ‘Manipulated Data’ For Money. But when Right-wing pundits and Fox Noise Channel manipulate the truth for money, that’s perfectly acceptable behavior??

Mitt Romney Attacks Obama For Going To Martha’s Vineyard — On The Same Day He Will Be There. Fairness and reasonableness have never really been Republican qualities. No hypocrisy here, y’all….

Perry Reveals Plan For Total U.S. Anarchy: ‘Put A Moratorium On All Regulations’. Right…because government will only truly work for the American Sheeple when government ceases to exist.

GOP Presidential Candidates Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann Mad That Poor People Don’t Pay More Taxes. Well, of course; who’s going to pay for the loopholes that benefit the wealthy?

‘NUTS!’ — Allen West’s Strange, One-Word Response To Being Called Out For Ties To Islamophobes. When you’re a Teapublican, you never have to worry about having to say you’re sorry…or about being held accountable for your words or deeds.

RICK PERRY QUESTIONS OBAMA’S PATRIOTISM. Really? That’s what you’re going with? Why is it perfectly acceptable for a Conservative to question President Obama’s patriotism, but any criticism of Captain Codpiece © during his eight-year Reign of Error © was met with howls of indignation (HOW DARE YOU CRITICIZE OUR PRESIDENT?? WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA??) from the Right?

Sheriff Joe Is Keeping the Birther Dream Alive. We ignore the fundamental tenets of truth and reason…AND WE VOTE!!!

With Government Job Losses Slowing The Recovery, Romney Promises To Lay Off Even More. ‘Cuz they’re not like REAL jobs- you know, like with salaries and benefits and…oh, wait….

Bachmann on Gays: ‘I Don’t Judge Them’. You have to know we’re in trouble when the liars no longer bother to camouflage their lies.

Michele Bachmann: Gay Families Are Not ‘Families’. Right; so when will Gays finally accept their lot as second-class citizens? When will the understand that they’re simply less worthy and valuable than “normal” Americans??

Michele Bachmann Wants to Be Your ‘Hombre-ette’ in Washington. It’s like she’s not even trying….

Deadbeat Dad Joe Walsh: Children Should Be Raised In A Household With A Father And A Mother. Do as I say, NOT as I do.

Bachmann: Americans Fear ‘the Rise of the Soviet Union’. I’m surprised that she didn’t think East Germany isn’t the bigger threat to the Fatherland Homeland.

Gingrich Suggests Same-Sex Marriage Is Responsible For Economic Woes. Yeah, and didn’t some mullah in Iran claim that Gays were responsible for earthquakes? Or was it women and their boobs? I forget.

Grassley Rails About President Obama Taking Responsibility for His Policies - Too Bad He’s Not Willing to do the Same. How Sen. Grassley can walk and talk at the same time is a mystery without a solution.

Rick Perry Wants To Frack Iowa. Because people who live on land whose drinking water is likely to be destroyed by fracking generally aren’t going to vote Republican, anyway…so why should they be treated like they have rights?

Santorum: ‘Our Freedom’ Is Less ‘Whole Than It Was At The Time Of Our Founders’. And so, evidently, is our collective sanity.

The Republican Party’s War Against the Environment. Who cares about the environment when Republicans are going to be raptured anyway??

Perry Calls For Even Bigger Corporate Tax Repatriation Giveaway Than Corporations Have Asked For. Ask not what corporations can do for you. Ask what you can do for corporations.

As Union Membership Falls, RGA Chairman Gov. McDonnell Says There’s Been ‘More Unionization’ Under Obama. When it comes to facts and truth, it’s like they’ve just stop trying…and caring.](http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/39042TheRepublicanPartysWarAgainstthe_Environment)
